Book Review: The Storey Of Your Life (By Ted Chiang)
The "Story of Your Life" is the science-fiction even out which the Arrival film was based on. It was a really skillful read. Back inwards November, earlier the moving-picture exhibit was released, I read it inwards less than 2 hours, inwards 1 breath.
[Spoilers ahead.]
The showtime twosome pages of the mass had simply about weird/mixed usage of the yesteryear hereafter tense. Right at that showtime page, y'all acquire the catch that something is non correct in addition to this is going to endure an interesting read. And equally y'all continue reading, the even out drops on y'all to a greater extent than clues, in addition to y'all experience both smart in addition to awed, when y'all showtime slice together that Gary was indeed the linguist's (Louise) showtime husband, in addition to the missy is non dead withal due to the climbing accident.
Ted Chiang gives a lot of credit to the readers' intelligence. I liked that a lot. I too liked that I had to google in addition to larn several things piece reading the story. I googled to larn almost "Fermat's principle", "teleology", "ideograms", in addition to simply about related linguistic terms.
I was pretty shaken later finishing the story. It contributes to the Freewill in addition to Fate ground inwards philosophy in addition to theology from a science-fiction perspective. (Time is an illusion, in addition to amongst an altered perception, y'all tin dismiss experience fourth dimension inwards an orthogonal axis, in addition to freewill becomes irrelevant/pointless.) The even out is at the same fourth dimension really emotional because the parentship thread is really good woven into the story.
Ted Chiang writes a really tight story. No, actually, he calculates, computes, in addition to weaves the story. Amused yesteryear this showtime story, I read twosome other stories from him. I too liked "The Alchemist's Gate", which was written similar a Sufi story, 1 time again exploring the concept of fate, in addition to gratis will. Ted seems to endure obsessed almost these concepts, in addition to must convey been thinking really deeply almost them. This story too made subtle in addition to thoughtful "what if" cases almost these concepts. This even out too had a rigid technical side interwoven amongst a moving emotional side.
Wikipedia says Ted Chiang has been working equally a technical author inwards the software industry. I would endure interested inwards reading the manuals he writes.
